Your Server.Follow

So as everyone knows, anytime some one new asks what server to play on they get an instant sub-default and told every sever is exactly the same. While it doesn't really matter what server you start on if you are new, there are differences, if even minior, server-to-server.

So to clear up some confusion and questions many people have about the different servers, I thought it'd be nice to hear what everyone's opinion is on THEIR server, or a server they have personally spent 3+ months on.

It doesn't matter what you post about it. Post about what you think about it, the economy on it, your most hated RMT's, the best linkshells, the fun social shells, silly shouts in whitegate, the adventure's you've had on it, your opinions on it. Anything! (Just keep the big drama out) I want everyone's opinion on what their server is like, love it or loathe it. I want opinions, and thoughts. Think of this as "Show and Tell" server style.

As you all know I post anonymously, so I can not really go into detail about my server unfortunately. But I want to see what everyone's opinion on their server is. So post away!

Your server will be assimilated.

Resistance is futile.

Garuda's pretty cool. Though we do have some of the biggest morons(Best known being Anna.) and people who get 75 in level 12 gear. It's about 60% cool people, and 30% elistist with some portion of those being a mix.

I was being sarcastic. Anyway, personally I like Titan server better because I have real life friends on there and we were all in the same Dynamis shell.

Garuda was fun while I was there but near the end of my time there people just became outright jerks.


Edit: I once partied with Anna before she became famous on the boards. We did an ENM run in Promyvion-Dem and she was /anon as WHM at the time and we didn't realize she was /THF until I saw her steal from the Weeper she aggroed on the third floor. Subsequently, she was the only one who died and she didn't bring a ReRaise so we ended up quitting.

It's cause you were there. You and What's her face stirred up so much useless Drama.

I've been on Fenrir my whole time playing FFXI. Even after I left and thought I was done with the game I still came back to it. Plenty of drama went down back in the day between HNM LS's but I still remember the server got together during the big trent event where all over the world there were big ******* trents running around.

The level cap was 20 for the event and it was pretty much rushing the trent with whatever we had over and over till it was dead. It was like every single person on the server, NA and JP, were trying to take this big sucker down. It had a AOE knock back move that sent everyone flying so that was funny to watch.

I remember also being part of an alliance of only SAMs looking for the s.gusta trent. Some JP guy found it and shouted where it was and we all ran over there as an alliance. After finding it I was part of and witness to the most badass thing I've ever seen...18 SAMs using their 2hr on this huge ******* thing at the same time, spamming Tachi: Enpi. Distortions were flying left and right, it was nuts. I think we took 5% off of it or something like that within seconds.

Fenrir ended up winning the server-wide event and was the first server to get outpost warps. They were given to everyone else like a month later I think.

Anyway, that's the best story I got when it comes to Fenrir coming together as a server.

Valefor sucks for the most part. Nice enough people on it with of course a few exceptions but it's not a very big server and the EU scene is not as good as it should be.

Apparently Garuda also does the @ symbol differently then most other servers. We do it it symbolize how many people we have, while from what I heard other Servers do it to show how many are needed.

Ragnarok isn't a bad place. We certainly have a heavy diversity in cultures, not sure about other servers, but we have alot of unique folks playing at any given time.

I'll be honest in saying that I don't have many friends on the server, but I have no real gripes about the community as a whole. Besides, we have quite a few Allakhazam frequenters on our server, so we can't be THAT bad. Or are we...

Coward. Wuss. Idiot.

I post anonymously because I don't like my views on message boards to be discussed in game, where I'm pretty peaceful. I use to not post anonymously and people would send me /tells in game asking why I said what, or asking about stuff I said on message boards. I like keeping my game life and message board life seperate. It's just a preference.

I never create drama on message boards either, I come in and like to hear people's opinions and discuss mine as well. I like being anonymous. It's just my personality, I like being a little mysterious. Is that so wrong?

I don't think you like being a little mysterious. I think you are afraid. Afraid of the dark and the evil that men do. Afraid of the iron and the death and the gas. Afraid of the trenches and the constant bombardment of marmalade at the front lines.

Yes it is wrong. It makes you a coward. A believer in injustice. An enemy of the people.

I just switched servers and don't know much yet about Fairy but Fenrir is the server you want if you like pvp. The Death Dealers, Dirge of Ballista, and The Blade Runners linkshells all call that server their home and they not only ballista regularly but also hold their own tournaments.
